The SmartPill GI Monitoring System measures whole gut and regional gut (stomach, small bowel, and colon) transit times. Measurements of gastrointestinal tract transit times are used for evaluating motility disorders. Gastric transit time (gastric emptying time, GET) is indicated for the evaluation of patients with suspected gastroparesis. Delayed gastric emptying is implicated in such disorders as idiopathic and diabetic gastroparesis and functional non-ulcer dyspepsia Colonic transit time (CTT) is indicated for the evaluation of colonic transit in patients with chronic constipation and used to aid in differentiating slow and normal transit constipation. Combined small and large bowel transit time (SLBTT) is used as a surrogate measure of colonic transit in patients with chronic constipation when colonic transit time alone cannot be determined. The System measures pH, pressure, and temperature throughout the GI tract. Pressure contraction data from the antrum and duodenum can be used to calculate motility indices. Not for use in pediatric patients.

The SmartPill GI Monitoring System senses and records pH and pressure measurements from the entire length of the gastrointestinal tract for use by physicians to aid in the evaluation of gastrointestinal motility diseases and conditions. Sensors on board an ingestible capsule measure pH and pressure as the capsule travels the length of the GI tract. Measurements are transmitted from the capsule within the GI tract via ASK modulated RF signal at 434 MHz to a patient-worn Data Receiver and subsequently downloaded to PC for analysis and review. MotiliGIT™ Software performs data analyses automatically and provides the physician with a printable report containing regional gut transit times: GET - Gastric emptying (transit) time SBTT - Small bowel transit time SLBTT - Combined small and large bowel transit time CTT - Colonic transit time WGTT - whole gut transit time

The SmartPill GI Monitoring System is indicated for use in evaluating patients with suspected delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis). The SmartPill GI Monitoring System measures pH, pressure and temperature throughout the gastrointestinal tract. These physiological measurements are used to determine gastric emptying time (GET), total transit time (TTT), and combined small-large bowel transit time (SLBTT). In addition, pressure contraction patterns from the antrum and duodenum are used to calculate motility indices. Delayed gastric emptying is implicated in such disorders as idiopathic and diabetic gastroparesis and functional non-ulcer dyspepsia. Not for use in pediatric populations
